FORT COLLINS -- Police released images of suspected participants from a late-April party in the Summerhill neighborhood that escalated to riot-like conditions.

Late on April 27 into the morning of April 28, Fort Collins police responded to the neighborhood for reports of hundreds of people gathered in the street.

When police worked to disperse the partygoers and shut the music off, the crowd reportedly became unruly and aggressive. According to police, partygoers broke bottles, climbed streetlight poles, cars and trees and threw bottles at officers.

Police used pepper ball, pepper spray and tear gas to disperse the crowd.

On Thursday, Fort Collins police released seven pictures of persons of interest believed to have been involved in the disturbance and need the public’s assistance in identifying those individuals.

If you know the identity of any of these people, contact Officer Allen Heaton at 970-221-6555 or Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868 where you will remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a cash reward. Crime Stoppers may also be reached through their web site at www.stopcriminals.org.
